Taylor Adams tests positive.

With De Goey suspended the Eagles might beat the Pies this weekend.

An interesting insight:  McRae also revealed that only five of his players have yet to contract the virus.

    Sadly ... no hope.

    Tips from AFL folk:

    Port Adelaide 2-10 Melbourne
    Geelong 6-6 Brisbane
    Sydney 12-0 North Melbourne
    Collingwood 12-0 West Coast
    Richmond 0-12 Western Bulldogs
    Fremantle 9-3 Greater Western Sydney
    Essendon 12-0 Adelaide
    Hawthorn 4-8 St Kilda
    Gold Coast 0-12 Carlton

    Surprised at the lack of confidence in Richmond, Adelaide and to some extent GWS, and Hawks.

    The result I wish for the most is for Lions to beat the little cats on their own turf.

    Tipsters always play it safe. Generally base their tips on how a team performed the previous round.

    GCS nearly knocked us off.

    Carlton aren't a certainty by any means.

    Like LH I think Hawks v Saints is close to 50/50.

    From an MFC viewpoint a Brisbane win over Geelong is the conservative approach but hell I like being atop the ladder so Geelong to win !!

    Somehow we need the crows to beat essendon, because that would give me a laugh. The fans would go nuts. Walker back helps. 

    Interesting Geelong are resting Selwood tomorrow night against Brisbane. I would have thought you are coming up against a pretty good midfield and would need your best. 

    I know I put it in another thread but why do we have to travel again when some of these teams don't have there first interstate game until round 9 or longer?

    Selwood is now a way from being their best.  They got him to the record # of games as an AFL captain last week so now he gets a rest.  He is their spiritual leader but not sure they will miss him.  Its been a while since he has put in a really good game, let alone a match winning one.

    Scott learnt his lesson last year that his old team will run out of legs.  He is in preservation mode for finals.

    Agreed.  I am tipping Giants, Freo are up and down.  Tigers absolutely have a good chance

    and with Carlton limping over the line against the Hawks, GC have a good chance at home

    3 interstate games out of the first 5.

    What did we do wrong

    If you add up the AFL and The Age Tipsters only 1 of 22 are backing Gold Coast.

    Surprised me a little given how they played at home against us.

    Who ya got this week?

    FPtlD7IVgAIoM-x?format=jpg&name=4096x409

    Geelong but is Brisbane are serious they should win 

    If Sydney don’t win by over 10 goals I’m calling it a loss 

    West Coast are rooted. Pies by plenty. 

    Dogs but it’s a 50/50 at the G

    Who knows. Two teams you never put money on  

    Bombers finally 

    Saints? Could go either way but MCG helps Hawks  

    I hope GC! Time for Carlton to lose

    Have I missed something? Next week's game is at the G right? We've only travelled twice to date.

    Bumping for tonight. Isn’t it nice being able to enjoy the whole weekend of footy basking in a Thursday night victory. 

    Also do we want to the Cats to win t to claim top spot or Lions to win just so Geelong lose?

    Geelong to lose hopefully!

    better than the end of the year...

    I don't know if you've looked at our fixture for the end of the year, but our last 8 games include trips to Adelaide, Geelong, Alice Springs, Optus Stadium in Perth and the Gabba. 

    It will be a fair test.

    Was that another one of the games we didn't get out of first gear ? 🙂

    People have laughed at us for years, came across this and found it amusing. Would love the Crows to beat Essendon  just to see the next instalment.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
